DESERT HAD ME
DESERT HAD ME
Now ! Sworn by the wind
Toll! Hooked onto the desert
Gathered my thought from thy rays
Deep in my thought wants meditation
Down on kneel wants consolidation
Roses won't want to bend but red
Sun-blast on a rampage here in desert
Oh Sun; let's have a discourse
To the tail end of the earth
In the midst of this desert bare
I will blink the eyes of blade so bye
Falcons rare to find, sky is sore!
In the heart of the beat of desert
On my knees to earth! Worship thee
To my neck mitted to earth, thrilled
To see the mother earth full of thee
Yeah! The desert never boom but blows
Parole of the caring hot breeze
Warming my heart to stay alive
In my loneliness, I crave for thee
Let me; in chase of no windy blades
As it surges all my nerves to dead end
Let the earth give way, to my stormy blast
My heart is opened wide to accept
My eyes are opened wide to envision
In arrogance, you laid up a pile
To thy curiosity, dust filled the sky
When will you wait for me, Oh storm!
As you run up the cliff to show a burst
In thy wrath; don't consume the earth
In thy anger; don't wipe out her children
At steps of your footmark, I knelt
To meditate the heart of desert’s bare
Sound waves like of many waters, you echoed
I want to have a touch of your hem to kiss
If the Sun is angry, the sand thereof burns
If the storm is vexed, it blows up everything
To the silence bridged by sound-note
Of the wiggled eagle of the jungles
Waving to the next line of bat's formation
When will it rain in my dream, Oh desert?
The desert had me thinking about life
Life on earth to aid my clock wise flow
Sear not my heart with hot iron, Weighty
Moving on the heart of the desert, Cool On?
